Campfire Song - Johnny Hoeve

Remember Dad’s campfire looking at those flames
leaping and crackling I think I saw a demons face
and a lonely wolf starts howling
and brings shivers down my spine
you cuddle close to daddy and everything seemes fine

Campfires are real scary
A campfire is where demons stay
Campfires are for the weary
A campfire keeps wolves away

Looking up to that great wide open sky
a million stars are shining and a comet flies by
Think of all these angels they are smiling down at you
and there too is your daddy smiling at you too

Campfires are real scary
A campfire is where demons stay
Campfires are for the weary
A campfire keeps wolves away

The nighttime now aint so scary no more, demons are away
and there is nothing like a howling wolf at the close of day
yeah campfires they used to be so scary, so scary anyway…
still remember daddy and what he then used to say

She Won’t Say Yes (EN)

She Wont Say yes - Carlsson and Hoeve

If you ask her for a dance
She won’t say yes
If you ask her for a squeeze
She answers please don’t tease
But she she won’t say yes

If you ask her for a date
She won’t say yes
if you want to walk her home
You’ll never see her room
cause she won’t say yes
No she won’t say yes

This silly girl is fine
This silly girl is mine
She never cares for other boys
She treats them all like toys
This silly girl

if you ask her for a kiss
You may get one
But she won’t say yes
No she won’t say yes

The Day She left

The Day She Left - Wilson & Hoeve

The Day You Left (acoustic demo)

The Day You Left - Johnny Hoeve

This song also has a an acoustic version done for a test in just one take with The Day SHE Left changed to The Day YOU Left, small difference perhaps but is ofcourse possible for this song.

Maybe she’s right and I could be wrong
How did this night get to be so long?
Days lived in heartache are heavy on me
Living without her is crippling me
The day she left, oh lord oh lord oh lordShe could be dancing chasing some guy
Laughing and caring nothing for me
I’m high and I’m dry swimming in tears
I’m screaming inside why won’t you hear me now?The day she left was the day when I started to die
The day she left oh lord oh lord oh lord

Throw me a line, don’t let me go
Throw me a line, don’t let it end

Days lived in silence are deafening me
Living without her is crippling me
The day she left…

Neem Je Dromen Mee - Johnny Hoeve

ik heb vannacht een beeld gedroomd
in een andere tijd
misschien die van lang geleden
misschien de eeuwigheid

ik heb vannacht een wens gedaan
voor wie er iets om geeft
neem je dromen mee altijd
zolang je leeft

neem je dromen mee
waar je bent, waar je gaat, waar je woont
neem je dromen mee

ik deed vannacht een wandeling
langs alles wat ik weet
langs lange rijen wetenschap
maar niets dat echt iets deed met mij

ik maak vandaag berekening
van hoe ik vliegen ga
enkeld nog waar ik heen wil
mijn dromen achterna

neem je dromen mee
waar je bent, waar je gaat, waar je woont
neem je dromen mee

NEEM JE DROMEN MEE
Johnny Hoeve

Send Back My Love

Send Back My Love - Early Years Recordings

I consider these pages to be about an archive of songdemos and not presentation of recordings. I already did these songdemos before the days of digital tools with a simple 4 track tapecorder and no help of a computer. As songdemos they can still be usefull, for better recording quality it needs complete updated recordings, which will simply take too much time that can better be spent on new songs.

The style and melodies and arrangements can still be recognised even with these early year recordings, so I decided to put up some of those also, those songtitles that don’t deserve to go into oblivion and never be heard of again. Here’s SEND BACK MY LOVE – recorded halfway during the 1980s.

Elaine - Wilson & Hoeve

Thought I was strong now I know I’m not
Birds take to flight when the wind gets hot

Elaine – Runnin’ through my brain
Elaine – why won’t you change?

I would not hear my heart ruled my head
Though I knew the truth I still could not stop

Elaine – Runnin’ through my brain
Elaine – Oh why won’t you change?

Can’t read your signs
I don’t have a clue
God only knows what you will do
Elaine – Why won’t you change?

The tyranny of love leaves wisdom at the door
And the fool who asks for mercy
Is the one you want no more

Elaine – Runnin’ through my brain
Elaine – Why won’t you change?

Makes Me Wonder (EN)

Johnny — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 17:26:43 +0000

If I was rich
I would hire a flyer
that would take me
anywhere I choose
but will my heart be free?

But here I am
with a little of drinking
while thinking
what I’m a gonna do
about these blues
and when my final peace will be

And it makes me wonder
why I love so hard
I stand accused
I’m tired of playing
that lonely solo part of a recluse
I need someone to hold me
I need someone who really cares
and it makes me wonder why?
There is thunder in my heart

If I was king
I would rule like and do like
I’m the one
who was gonna save the world
like in fairly tales

But here I cry
with no kissing
and missing
the one I used to call
my baby girl
who went gone away of late

It makes me wonder…

Devil Moon (EN)

Johnny — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 15:51:26 +0000

Sitting in my room looking at the blood red moon
Not knowing what it means pulling on my jeans
Getting ready to go out not knowing what this day is about

Devil Moon Devil Red

Devil moon Devil red
Survival till the end
Devil moon Devil moon
Come to the earth and consume
Devil moon devil
Devil moon devil

Out in the town not a soul around
I don’t understand what this is all about
Out in the town, empty town Devil moon…

Forgive me for my sins
but the reign of terror shall begin
I am blind and can to see
what’s coming up behind me
Walking in the streets alone
never feeling I m at home

What’s In A Song? – Volume 2 on Spotify

Winds of the Valley whispering to me
go to the mountain because that’s where she will be
Winds of the Valley whispering so low
she’s waiting for you, she wants you to know

Hear them calling, calling to you
She wasn’t untrue, she told you so
You wouldnt listen so she had to go

Winds of the Valley whispering so low
It’s lonely up here in the cold with the ice and snow
Winds of the Valley whispering please go
She won’t wait much longer though needing you so

So heed our calling calling to you
She wasn’t untrue, she told you so
You wouldnt listen, now you must go

Winds of the Valley whispering to me
Go to the mountain because that’s where she will be
Winds of the Valley whispering so low
She’s waiting for you, she wants you to know

Heed our calling calling to you
She wasn’t untrue, she told you so
You wouldnt listen, now you must go
